As the climate crisis deepens, so does the gulf between people who accept basic climate science and those who reject it. A shadowy network of anti-science organizations continues to promote climate skepticism in the US — and academic institutions like Brown face a direct threat from them. Who is behind the climate denial movement, and why does it exist? And what can we do to stop it? Join us for a talk and Q&A with Dr. Ben Franta and learn how big oil and dark money work to undermine science even as they manipulate academia. Dr. Franta is a leading expert on these issues with published articles in Nature Climate Change, The Guardian, and other publications.
